Stadium hinting at ACC 2020-2025 bowl schedule

[GTFLETCH]

Changes: The 15-member ACC – including Notre Dame for bowl purposes – will have guaranteed bowl bids for 73 percent of its membership, most among all conferences. The ACC will no longer play in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit, instead participating in the new Fenway Park Bowl against the American and the ACC replaced the Big Ten in the Holiday Bowl. Also, the ACC will play in the Outback Bowl in place of the Big Ten any year in which the Big Ten has a team in the Orange Bowl. This arrangement was previously with the Citrus Bowl.

ACC (11 bowls)
2020-25 lineup:
1. Orange (ESPN)
1a. Outback when Big Ten gets Orange slot. (ABC/ESPN) (2 times out of 6 years)

Top Tier
Campus World vs B12 (ESPN)

Mid Tier (3-7)
Holiday vs P12 (FOX)
Gator vs SEC (ESPN)
Belk vs SEC/B10 (ESPN)
PinStripe vs B10 (ESPN)

SEC (10 bowls)
2020-25 lineup:
Sugar vs. Big 12
Citrus vs. Big Ten
Las Vegas vs. Pac-12/Belk vs. ACC
Outback vs. Big Ten
Texas vs. Big 12
Gator vs. ACC
Music City vs. Big Ten
Liberty vs. Big 12
Birmingham vs. American
Gasparilla vs. American

Changes: The new Las Vegas and Belk bowls are expected to be in the pool of bowls for selections three through eight (along with Texas, Outback, Gator, Music City and Liberty). The Citrus Bowl will still receive the second pick (after the College Football Playoff selections and Sugar Bowl). The SEC vs. Pac-12 matchup in the Las Vegas Bowl will be the first non-playoff matchup between the conferences since the 1989 Freedom Bow

Big 10 (9 bowls)
2020-25 lineup:
Rose vs. Pac-12
Citrus vs. SEC
Outback vs. SEC
Las Vegas vs. Pac-12/Belk vs. ACC
Music City vs. SEC
Pinstripe vs. ACC
Redbox vs. Pac-12
Quick Lane vs. American
Cheez-It vs. Big 12

Changes: The biggest difference for the Big Ten in the new cycle is adding Las Vegas/Belk in place of the Holiday Bowl. Also, the Big Ten replaces the Pac-12 in the Cheez-It Bowl. The Big Ten will have the highest percentage of bowl games against other Power 5 opponents – eight of nine – including three bowls each vs. the SEC and Pac-12. One change among the Big Ten bowl opponents is the Quick Lane Bowl, where the Big Ten is expected to play a team from the American instead of the ACC.

Pac-12 (8)
2020-25 lineup:
Rose vs. Big Ten
Alamo vs. Big 12
Las Vegas vs. SEC/Big Ten
Los Angeles vs. Mountain West
Holiday vs. ACC
Redbox vs. Big Ten
Sun vs. ACC
Independence vs. ACC

Changes: The NCAA granted the Pac-12 an additional bowl bid in the new cycle and the Pac-12 is expected to add the Los Angeles Bowl vs. the Mountain West and the Independence Bowl against the ACC. The Pac-12 also will play against either the SEC or the Big Ten in the new Las Vegas Bowl. By adding two bowls, the Pac-12 had to drop one – it’s expected to be the Cheez-It Bowl. The Pac-12 will now have Power 5 opponents in seven of its eight bowls, including three from the ACC and at least two from the Big Ten.

Big 12 (7 bowls)
2020-25 lineup:
Sugar vs. SEC
Alamo vs. Pac-12
Camping World vs. ACC
Texas vs. SEC
Liberty vs. SEC
Cheez-It vs. Big Ten
Armed Forces vs. Group of 5/First Responder vs. Group of 5

Changes: None. The Big 12 will maintain its same bowl affiliations in the new bowl cycle. The Big 12 will play three SEC opponents and one each from the ACC, Big Ten and Pac-12. The biggest changes will be facing the Big Ten instead of the Pac-12 in the Cheez-It Bowl and facing a Group of 5 opponent in the Armed Forces/First Responder bowls.

Independents BYU and Army also will be placed into bowls in the new cycle by ESPN, sources said.

 

[GTFLETCH]

Group of 5 Outlook
The American will have seven tie-ins and looks like it could be involved in possibly five bowls against Power 5 opponents:
Fenway Park bowl (ACC)
Military (ACC)
Birmingham (SEC)
Quick Lane (Big Ten)
Gasparilla (SEC).

The Mountain West, with six tie-ins:
Los Angeles Bowl at Hollywood Park (PAC-12)
Famous Idaho Potato
New Mexico
Arizona
Hawaii bowl
plus another ESPN bowl.

Conference USA will have seven tie-ins in 2020-25: New Orleans with the remaining six bowls among the 16 bowls owned by ESPN Events, including the newly-created Myrtle Beach Bowl. The Mid-American (six bowl tie-ins) and Sun Belt (five bowl tie-ins) also will be predominately aligned with ESPN bowls.

I just wish they couldn't skip teams...like how we finished 4th in the ACC last year but got like the 9th bowl game.

 

[RyanS12]

Really taking out Detroit? And replacing with a bowl in freezing *** Boston in a baseball stadium?!?! I guess I get it because of BC and wanting exposure up there but who in the hell wants to sit through 3 hrs of that. Granted Detroit isn’t Miami in December but Ford Field and the bowl are run really well. Timing just sucks for the game.

You beat me to it......indoor in Detroit vs outdoor in Boston...the only question is the day the game is played.

Yup. Only thing holding the QLB back is the date which seems to be locked in again this year. After going last year and taking about a donzen people, we’re planning on going back regardless of who’s playing. Had a great time. Especially before the game.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

2 many bowls.

Rewarding mediocrity.

The 2019 Georgia Tech football team may be the last ACC team to go to the Music City Bowl In 2020 the Music City Bowl goes to SEC vs Big 10 matchups and the ACC is left out.

ESPN has to get all that money for ACCN payout from somewhere. Stop seeing non-playoff games as a "reward" and you'll be much happier.

It's better to go to a Bowl Game than to be at home watching it...........................................just sayin'

And it's also much better as a fan to have random CFB games to watch on 12/19 than having to watch hockey or basketball. I'll never get the "too many bowls" complaint.

My main complaint is that they are all too spread out. Play them all in two weeks instead of over a month.

The ACC’s next six-year bowl cycle swaps Detroit and Shreveport for San Diego and Boston while trading an occasional second Orlando date for an equally irregular Tampa appearance.

All of which are upgrades for a conference riding a football wave unlike any other in its 66-year history.

For 2020-25, which coincides with the final six years of the College Football Playoff’s original 12-year contract, the Holiday Bowl will match teams from the ACC and Pacific 12 — the ACC is replacing the Big Ten. The Pac-12’s Holiday representative has been ranked five times in the last seven seasons.

Granted, San Diego is a distant venue. But it’s not like ACC schools are taking multitudes to Detroit or Shreveport, and San Diego trumps both as a tourist destination, especially in late December.

An unknown is whether the ACC will still divide bowls into Tier One and Tier Two. Regardless, the league already has created change for the better.

Sign wife and i up for Boston
Add a 3 days before and 3 days after go tour city and NYC.
I owe her big time for taking her to Shreveport.

 

[GTFLETCH]

WOW - David Teel states that the ACC will not face the PAC12 in Shreveport! Instead the ACC will join the SEC in Gasperilla! Wonder if this is true and why the PAC12 announced vs ACC.. Wonder if we are trying to get the payout higher or if The Bowl decided to tie in with BYU and or Army vs PAC12

David Teel Report has the new lineup after CFP Selection will stay at 10:

1. Orange (ESPN)
1a. Outback when Big Ten gets Orange slot. (ABC/ESPN) (2 times out of 6 years)

Top Tier
2. Camping World vs B12 (ESPN)

Mid Tier (3-7)
3. Holiday vs P12 (FOX)
4. Gator vs SEC (ESPN)
5. Belk vs SEC/B10 (ESPN)
6. PinStripe vs B10 (ESPN)
7. Sun vs P12 (CBS)

Lower Tier (8-10)
8. Gasparilla vs. SEC (ESPN)
9. Boston vs AAC (ESPN)
10. Military vs AAC (ESPN)

Conditional tie-ins
Birmingham vs. SEC/G-5 (ESPN)
First Responder vs G-5 (ESPN)

These bowls are going to pay for ACCN?

Alrighty then

AND everyone gets a participation trophy.

They early years of the ACCN will probably not be profitable for ESPN just from rights fees and ad space, no. They have to get that money from somewhere, and selling ad space on a "meaningless" bowl game is one way to do it.
